What Is A Shrub Drink?


I'm always captivated by exactly how alcoholic drinks get their names-- and also after browsing my fair share of bar food selections, there is one term particularly I have actually always considered: the shrub. What makes a beverage a shrub? And just how did this word, which I connect with a well-groomed yard, become connected with mixed drinks?


"Shrub" is actually the name of 2 various alcohol-related drinks, as well as vinegar plays a pretty big role in this drink's history. One kind is a fruit liqueur that was specifically popular in 17th century England, made with rum or brandy, sugar, fruit and also citrus juice-- though vinegar was made use of instead of citrus to preserve berries in the off-season. This liqueur would then be mixed with flat or carbonated water to develop an alcoholic drink. The various other sort of shrub is a sweetened vinegar-based syrup that can be used to make a beverage-- this is also called "alcohol consumption vinegar," and is normally infused with fruit juice, herbs and spices.


The history of the word "shrub" originates from the Arabic sharbah, which means "a drink," though "sherbet" and "syrup likewise originated from this origin. Do I sense a style? Shrubs extend back to the Babylonians, who blended day vinegar into water to make it secure to drink, and also the Romans, who produced posca from integrating vinegar and water.
